The man who was supposed to be the group’s leader charged at me with a large scythe, looking as if he thought I had let down my guard by looking away.

What kind of superhuman strength did he have to swing such a heavy-looking scythe so lightly?

I dodged the attack. The moment I let my guard down, I would lose my life, and though I was concerned about Duke-sama and the others, I was too preoccupied with saving my own life.

One moment a large blade tip comes from the right, the next from the left.

There were still such superhuman-level people in the world….

There will always be someone higher up. I could climb to higher heights. My face slackened involuntarily.

I couldn’t win if I just kept avoiding attacks. I also had to go on the offensive at some point!

I took advantage of the brief pause and kicked the tree’s trunk, using the recoil to grab a branch, from which I lifted my entire body and placed myself on the branch.

I would have to think about how to fight first. …Because I didn’t have any weapons!

The enemy beneath me rocked the tree trunk as hard as he could, causing my torso to shake more than I could have imagined.

The picture of a big man wearing a strange mask shaking the tree and almost causing me to fall, was too scary! Please shake the tree a little more gently!

I endured desperately, but there was no point in running away any longer. Besides, there was no way I was going to win against such brute force.

I gave up and fell to the ground. To avoid the sudden impact on my legs, I turned my entire body around and landed on the ground.

I didn’t have time to think about how I was going to fight every single time. I needed to put all of my practice to use!

I took off my eye patch, revealing my missing eye. My left eye was obscured by a black mist. I’d have to make do with whatever I had.

The enemy froze when he saw me, perhaps surprised that I was missing one eye.

Be on your guard. Never let the enemy see the slightest opening! …It could be your undoing.

I took advantage of that moment and closed in on the leader, who had a magnificent physique. I kicked him in the neck with all my might and then decided to kick him in the face as well.

The mask with a red pattern was blown high into the sky.

The enemy was still standing even after receiving my kick, only staggering a little.

I couldn’t believe it. I really kicked him….

The leader spat out a mouthful of black blood and looked at me with sharp eyes.

A woman?

I was surprised to see her unmasked appearance.

I saw my reflection in her bright red, clear eyes. A neutral, well-defined face with a small cut under the eye.

Was she wielding that scythe with the strength of a woman? No way….

[Now that kick has finally put me out of my sleep. This is going to be more fun than I thought…]

She smiled crookedly.

The archaic language of Ravaal Kingdom. She had a slight accent, but I managed to catch it.

[I don’t think I’ll be bored either]

When I replied in the archaic language of the Ravaal Kingdom, her eyes widened and she froze.

[Heh. I didn’t know anyone still spoke the archaic language.]

She then looked at me with interest. After staring at me for a moment, the woman turned her determined eyes on me and uttered.

[Don’t die so easily.]

[You too.]

I was terrified by the tremendous killing intent, but managed to smile.

“What are those people talking about?”

Leon yelled to Duke and Victor as they fought the enemies that kept attacking them.

“”It’s the ancient language of the Ravaal Kingdom.””

Duke and Victor replied calmly as they crossed swords with the multitude of enemies.

“How do you two know it? You were even the prince of the Duelkis Kingdom.”

“Hey! Behind you!”

Victor yelled at Leon, who got a little distracted. In response, Leon moved swiftly and quickly, sending the small knife at his waist flying backwards.

It was beautifully thrust into the enemy’s forehead.

Individually, the group was large and powerful, and Leon, Victor, and Duke were struggling to keep up.

“Damn, it’s getting out of hand…”

Victor muttered under his breath.
